IEnum
To allow you to count the number of items of a given type an object maintains,
OLE provides a set of enumeration interfaces, one for each type of item.
To use these interfaces, the client asks an object that maintains a collection
of items to create an enumerator object. The interface on the enumeration
object is one of the enumeration interfaces, all of which have a name of the form
IEnumItem_name. Enumeration interfaces are specific to the type of item. All have the same
set of methods, and are used in the same way. For example, by repeatedly calling
the
Next method, the client gets successive pointers to each item in the collection.
The following table lists the set of enumeration interfaces that OLE defines,
and the items enumerated.
